2009 Scripture Memory Review

Wow! I did it! I have 24 entries (36 actual verses) in my memory verse spiral for 2009! I am SO THANKFUL for Beth Moore giving us the challenge to do this and for the accountability of having to sign in to her LPM Blog on the 1st & 15th of every month. Now, I'm hooked and don't want to stop.


So...I'm going to commit to memorizing scripture again this year and look forward to the verses God brings to mind for me to memorize during this new year. I'd love for others to join me in this endeavor. I know I don't have much of a following, but it would be fun to link up and see the verses we're working on. (Maybe I'll learn how to do the McLinky thing tomorrow...it's really late right now.)


Here's my first verse for 2010...it was Beth Moore's last one for 2009 but I already had one in mind for then.


Psalm 27:4
"One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple."

Now, here's a recap of my verses for 2009...I have a lot of continual practicing to do between now and January 22 when Shellye & I go to the Scripture Memory Celebration in Houston!
